In between doing a little work in the garden I took some pictures of the insects that were around at the time.

I thought this Carder Bee was on its last legs
It seemed to be struggling to get off the ground
However, it pushed its self-up and flew off.

I haven’t a clue what sort of grub this is. My wife
dug it up from under the soil and after I had taken some pictures, I put it
back there.
My wife found this on the conservatory door so I was
able to get images from both sides. Note to self must get her to clean the glass
more often lol.
Fly.
Aye, its amazing what you can get in the garden if you spend a bit of time there. I believe your grub is a Rove Beetle larvae of some sort, the bigger the larvae the bigger the beetle. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alan, for the info. I seem to spend more time taking pictures than I do gardening.
DeleteCould it be a diving beetle larvae?
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael there is a pond in our neighbours garden but there is some large Koi Carp in there so I’m wondering if the beetle larvae would survive there.
